Critics claim 'Moms' Night Out' movie is anti-feminist

"Moms' Night Out," a comedy about a group of mothers attempting to have a night out sans kids, has been under fire by critics who call the movie "depressingly regressive and utterly dangerous," according to Christy Lemire.

Co-director Jon Erwin, a self-proclaimed conservative Christian, first received a lot of positive feedback at a pre-screening.

“We heard over and over again moms love it,” he told The Blaze. “They said it was their story.”

Shortly after the film's release, many critics reported it to be anti-feminist, claiming it sent a message that a woman's place was only in the home.

Erwin told The Blaze that the film's protagonist, Allyson, never says all moms should stay at home with their kids.

"The movie features a single mom, a full-time working mom — and they support and encourage people throughout the film,” Erwin said.

Travis Agnew, a pastor in South Carolina, calls critics' statements "ironic," affirming that the women in the show are exercising their rights by choosing to either stay home or work.
